Default First Lexus?'s

Hello my name is Brett i recently just bought a 97 ES 300 with 250,000 miles. The car is in real good shape its real hard to believe it has that many miles and still looks and drives awesome. Anyways my questions since this is my first Lexus let alone car is the track control light is saying its off and wont turn back on for some reason. And the window switches only work on the drivers door. All the windows are working just the controls are messed up. Anyways like i was saying this is my first car the rest of my vehicles have been trucks. Here is a pic of the lexus and my bagged show truck. Hope to get to know you guys and learn alot about these awesome cars.

Hook a code reader to it and that will tell you why your CEL and TRAC lights are on.

Have codes read for no charge at autozone or similar place. Probably an oxygen sensor code if I had to guess since the vehicle seems to be running fine.

So I replaced the upstream o2 sensor last night and then went to autozone reset the check engine light which ended up fixing the traction control light to. Thanks for the help guys
